Traits

As creatures made of plant and bone, Lelokos carry with them a bond with nature that often manifests itself along their bodies. Rarely, a mantle of soft, magic filled moss will begin to grow. This moss can be gathered and used in special potions.

• Moss Mantle:  

  🔹 Moss may cover large portions of the leloko as a singular patch, or can be broken up .
  🔹 Moss can be any series of colors, but should stay naturally patterned.
  🔹 Moss should clearly grow from the body.
  
  ❗ Moss cannot conceal main features of a leloko completely (eyes, nose, inner ears, flower bulb, paws)
  ❗ Moss can dangle slightly.

A single ribbon extends from the base of each ear, trailing down and billowing in the wind.

•  Ribbon Trail:  

  🔹 The ribbon may end in a flat, rounded, or notched shape, and is thin, but durable.
  🔹 You are free to pattern this ribbon with any marking that doesn't fall into a higher rarity.
  
  ❗ Ribbons may reach the tops of the paws, but should not touch the ground.

A single fluffy extension called a "moth puff" extends from the base of each ear, trailing down and billowing in the wind.

•  Moth Puff Trail:  

  🔹 The puff should be thinner at the base, and end in a round shape.
  
  ❗ Puffs may extend in length to the tops of the paws , but should not touch the ground

A single feather extends from the tip of each ear, standing stiff in the wind.

• Plume Add-on:  

  🔹 The feather may be short to moderate in length, with a smooth or fluffy edge.
  🔹 You are free to pattern this feather with any marking that doesn't fall into a higher rarity.
  
  ❗ Feathers may be shorter than depicted, but should not be much longer.

...

•  Sweet Extensions:

  🔹 Heart-shaped tufts may be placed on the ears, wrists, top-side of feet, or be used to replace the tail.
  🔹 Heart tufts may be smooth, or very fluffy, and can be depicted a bit smaller or larger than shown below.
  
  ❗ Hearts must follow species-specific color rules.
  ❗ This trait allows for heart-shaped fur puffs to be placed on a mantibab's front hands.

Below is the general application of this trait!

...

•  Sweetheart Accents (Mantibab):

  🔹 Your bab's cheeks, elbow nubs, ankle nubs, and palm paw pads are shifted from circular, to heart shaped patches!
  
  ❗ Hearts must follow all species color rules.

•  Sweetheart Accents (Skullcracker):

  🔹 Your Skullcracker's paw pad and nose are changed into heart shapes. Additional heart shaped nubs may be placed at the tips of the paw pads. 
  🔹 Nose is optional

...

• Trait:  

  🔹 This trait causes your single tail to split into three.
  🔹 This tail can be applied to any tail of equal or lower rarity. 
  
  ❗ Both tails match whenever this trait is applied. (Cruciferous tails must all have leaves, Cotton Cover Tails must all have some Cotton on them, etc)
  ❗ All tails must end in a flower that must similarly match physically (2 5-pointed flowers with 2 leaves each, 2 tulips with ruffled leaves, etc). Colors and design can vary.

A rare occurence, but one that is often warned against by parents towards their kits. If you run wildly through the thorny brush your tail will split into two. If you do it again after you're warned you might just be unlucky enough to have it split into three. Imagine how heavy that would be! A triple split tail is often seen as a nuisance, but adds new capabilities to the Leloko lucky enough to attain it. The prehensile aspect of the tails can be used to propel a Lelo through the trees, with their ability to gain energy from the sun quicker able to carry them forward longer far longer than their companions. Some believe the triple tail unlocks a stored power within the Leloko who bears it.

• Trait:  

  🔹 This trait causes your single tail to split into three.
  🔹 This tail can be applied to any tail of equal or lower rarity. 
  
  ❗ All three tails match whenever this trait is applied. (Cruciferous tails must all have leaves, Cotton Cover Tails must all have some Cotton on them, etc)
  ❗ All tails must end in a flower that must similarly match physically (3 5-pointed flowers with 2 leaves each, 3 tulips with ruffled leaves, etc). Colors and design can vary.

Note: If this trait is applied to your Leloko, be sure to include both palettes in their masterlist entry!

Transition plays a large part within the beliefs of a Leloko, with various aspects of their history leaning into this theme, and in turn, their beliefs. A subtle form of this belief is said to manifest in the coat of a Leloko, transitioning from color to color under the light of the sun or shade of the trees. This rarity is said to manifest on Lelokos who are in tune with themselves and the world around them, allowing their visage to shift and flow with the energy of the world. Others say this is absurd, and the Leloko might be sick with something, "You're looking a little green today", "You have to stop exhausting your mana, it eats away at your identity", "Did you eat a wierd fruit? You know some of those things have wierd effects!" etc etc. The more observant notice that Lelokos of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and dispositions may come under this effect, with seemingly nothing to connect them, so perhaps this is just an inherent part of their species... 

• Trait:  

  🔹 Allows you to apply a secondary color palette to your Leloko. 
  🔹 Palette may be a full palette shift, or a partial color shift. 
  🔹 Markings should be fully visible between both palettes, and cannot be "hidden" or removed using this trait. 
  🔹Each Leloko has 1 condition that causes the shift in color. The conditions for the shift may be decided by the user (Day/Night cycles, light/shade, time of day, alternating by day/season, or other conditions)
  
  ❗ This trait cannot be used to change the design past the shifting of colors. 
  ❗ This Item may be applied again to add additional palettes to the Leloko.

Note: This trait is currently limited to: Mantibab, Skullcracker, Leloko

...

• Trait:  

  🔹 Adds a simple icon pattern to your Mantibab's "accent" points (cheeks, pawpads, nubs) 
  🔹 Icons should be kept simple, with only 1 pattern allowed per use of this trait. 
  🔹 Acceptible Icons should fall into common summer themes that could appear on pool floats. (Stars, Clouds, Sprinkles, Waffle Cone pattern, Ducks)
  🔹 Icons should all be 1 color, with the exception of "sprinkle", which allows for a multicolored pattern.
  
  ❗ Waffle cone pattern is limited to browns and oranges that give the illusion of a waffle cone.
  ❗ Clouds must be pale or pastel in hue, and should follow species rules. (grey clouds are allowed on skullcrackers, but not manitbabs.)

...

• Trait:  

  🔹 Adds a series of seashells that grow from your Crederians body. 
  🔹 Shells can come in a variety colors for the majority of the species and should be patterned after existing seashells. (Mantibabs should follow their standard species rules)
  
  ❗ Shells cannot appear iridescent or akin to pearl. 

The maximum coverage of this trait can be seen below.

Viewed as a token of merit and accomplishment, these feathers are an opportunity offered to Skullcrackers who have shown their merit; either in perilous times (showing bravery, courage, empathy) or through dedication within their communities (showing intelligence, creativity, wisdom). Chosen skullcrackers are able to undertake a test to be acknowledged as a Guardian of their community. The process is unknown to those who have not earned their feathers, and those who have say it's something you'll have a chance to find out for yourself~

• Trait:  

  🔹 A set of long feathers extend from the base of the ears and may be as long as a full body length. This would allow them to just hang off the floor without touching it.
  🔹 Feathers may be decorated or patterned like the rest of the skullcracker's body.
  
  ❗ Feathers never fully dangle or hang, having a special property that allows them to float in the air.

A pecular trait that's sprung up here or there that causes their moth puffs to double. There's no downside to having two in each ear outside of needing to groom a bit more than usual. The benefit to these puffs are that their capacity to gague the wind and catch pollen doubles!

• Trait:  

  🔹 Two puffs appear to grow out of the base or center of each ear. 
  🔹 These puffs may be as long as the wrists or as short as the jawline. 
  
  ❗ Applying the Long Puff add-on causes both of the puffs to gain the length of the modifier.

....

• Trait:  

  🔹 A set of long moth puffs grow from the base or center of the ears.
  🔹 The puffs trail well past the skullcracker's body, up to two full body lengths. 
  
  ❗ This trait may be applied to any ear set and if applied to the Double Puff add-on will cause those to extend to the length of this trait.

The Autumn King has bestowed upon you a part of his kingdom. The feyblooded often appear with shimmering wings, and this pair of wings is a token of that. 

•  Touch of the Monarch:

  As though a butterfly has made it's home on your body.
  🔹 A set of butterfly wings appear on the body in any natural design.  
  🔹 Wings may range from small to large, and may be stacked. With each set of wings requiring a new trait item.
  🔹 Wings are capable of movement, and can be seen opening and closing as a natural butterfly would.
  
  ❗ You may have ONE set of wings*. (The legs may have a partial wing on the set that does not have the full wing)
  ❗ Wing Halves may be placed in any of the sections, and do not have to be symmetrical.
  ❗ Wings may not be purely white, black, or grey. On mantibabs, they must be clearly saturated, though they may be dark or pastel.
  ❗ Aquiring this trait does not grant you the feyblood subtype.

Below are the general allowed placements!

The Autumn King has bestowed upon you a part of his kingdom. A soft billowing trail of leaves follows your Crederian. Leaves will grow from their body in sparse amounts and will fall off as well, adding to the trail of leaves they leave in their wake.

•  Autumn Shed:

  🔹 Leaves in reds, oranges, and yellowish tones appear on your Crederian.
  🔹 Parts of the body can grow sparse leaves as well, including horns.
  🔹 Leaves are constantly moved by an apparent wind that affects only them. The crederians hair and fur doesn't seem to be affected. 
  
  ❗ Leaves cannot be a non-autumn color.
  ❗ Leaves growing on the body must be sparse, to not be confused with other seasonal traits.
